  • Technologic Innovations in Rhinology, An Issue of Otolaryngologic Clinics

    • 1 Edición
    • Volumen 42-5
    • Raj Sindwani
    • Inglés
    Endoscopic sinus surgery has quickly become one of the most commonly performed operations in otolaryngology, with over 400,000 cases performed annually. The narrow confines of the sinonasal tract and the complex relationships with adjacent vital structures, demands a high degree of technical precision and provides little room for surgical error. The potential for disorientation during surgery is heightened when surgical landmarks are obscured because of bleeding, extensive disease or previous surgery, and when operating with angled-view endoscopes. Due to the proximity of the orbit and skull base, complications from sinus surgery can be catastrophic. Negative outcomes following endoscopic sinus surgery continue to be a leading cause of malpractice suits against otolaryngologists. It is therefore not surprising, that the introduction and continued proliferation of technological innovations has been met with such robust enthusiasm by the Rhinology community. The application of surgical navigation technology to sinonasal and skull base procedures, as an example, has ushered in a new era of surgical approaches to inflammatory as well as non-inflammatory conditions of this region. The endosopic approaches to the nearby orbit and skull base have expanded in part, due to technological advances; but these novel techniques have themselves also fostered the development of unique instrumentation. This issue of The Clinics appraises new technological developments in endoscopic sinus and skull base surgery and also critically examines recent updates to existing instrumentation. Each of the structured articles within is written by leading experts with extensive experience with the technology. The authors provide a description of the technology and how it works, and analyze the current role of the technology; including an evidence-based review of its impact on clinical outcomes, where appropriate.

  • Hand Burns, An Issue of Hand Clinics

    • 1 Edición
    • Volumen 25-4
    • Matthew B. Klein
    • Inglés
    The effects of hand burn injuries can be critical to quality of life and crucial to long-term functional outcomes following burn injury. Since hands are at the front line of human contact, a high percentage of thermal injury involves the upper extremity and, in particular, the hand. Hand burns can vary in severity from shallow burns requiring local wound care and aggressive range of motion therapy to complex wounds requiring repair of joints, tendons, and other soft tissue. Historically, given the poor survival associated with severe burn injury, many patients with hand burns simply did not survive the acute phase of treatment. If patients survived the systemic insult of burn injury, often the hands were neglected relative to more extensive areas on the trunk. However, with the widespread use of early excision and grafting, as well as great advancements in critical care, survival following thermal injury has become the rule rather than the exception. Therefore, emphasis in burn care has shifted towards optimizing the functional and psychosocial outcomes of those that survive their injury. Accordingly, optimal management of hand burns has received increasing attention given the critical importance of hand recovery to long-term outcome. In this volume of Hand Clinics, experts in burn care present an overview of pediatric and adult hand burn management — including shallow burns, as well as complex injuries from deep thermal burns or electrical injury. In addition, chapters on pathphysiology of scar, burn hand rehabilitation and assessing outcomes of hand injury emphasize critical concepts in achieving optimal hand function after injury.
